So, yesterday I was Bad Chris, and ate pancakes, with Linda out of town. I also feel like I’ve been Good Chris and caught up all my insurance paperwork – flex benefits, organized out-of-network claims for my ‘Integrative’ treatments and started on a monster form from the State (complete with 2 pages explaining the State’s paperwork ‘reduction’ act).

So, wth work done, I’ve spent a little time ‘noodling,’ digging around on gulker.com’s LAN, trying to fix a DNS problem, and otherwise doing geeky things. One of the pleasant surprises was discovering that our Canon MP530 all-in-one printer/scanner has a batch scan mode that works with our Mac. When we first set it up, the instructions said that the multiple-page scan feature was Windows only.

But, digging around in the Mac scanner client, I found a mode in the ‘MP Navigator’ software that referred to the Automatic Document Feeder. Sure enough, I dropped a 12-page document in the ADF, clicked ’scan’ and, Voila! – a 12 page PDF appeared. Yay. Given the number of forms I’m filling out lately, this will be a huge help. I can move all the disability docs into a paperless workflow…
